PREFACE, 


The change from the Aldermanic to the Commission Form of Govern- 
ment, which took place in May, 1915, necessitated a complete rewriting of 
all that part of the ordinances having to do with the legislative and ex- 
ecutive functions of the city’s government. 


All other parts have been carefully revised, and each section has 
been thoroughly considered by the Commissioners, Each department has 
been consulted particularly concerning the portions most applicable to it. 
Several subjects are treated for the first time. 


At the end of the book is a collection of the special privilege ordi- 
nances, ete., now in force in Bloomington, together with the Charter of 
the city schools, ordinances and documents pertaining to the enlargement 
of the Chicago & Alton shops, and other important municipal instruments 


A thorough and serviceable index is of great utility, and a con- 
scientious endeavor has been made to compile such an index for this book.

If any story exceeds these heights respectively, the wall of such story and 
of all the stories below the same shall be increased four inches in thickness 
additional to the thickness already required. 


590. When Walls are to be Increased.] § 32. Whenever it is 
sought to increase the height of any building beyond the height for which 
the original permit was granted, the thickness of the walls thereof shall

tion, if sound and in good condition, may be used in the construction of an 
adjoining building: Provided, however, that no brick work shall be placed 
on such wall to give additional height to the wall unless the thickness of 
such additional wall and the thickness of the old wall in each story shall at 
least equal the thickness required for division walls. This shall apply in all 
cases where it is desired to add additional height to any business building. 
In case of outside walls of any business building being built against the

the said company in such manner that the paving material shall be flush 
with the top of the said rails, inside and outside, as far as practicable, and — 
on unpaved streets, that portion thereof used under the provisions of this 
ordinance shall be kept ballasted with cinders, gravel or other suitable ma- 
terial up to a level, as far as practicable, with the tops of the rails, both 
inside and outside the tracks, so that vehicles may readily cross the same 
without danger of injury to the vehicles, persons or property. 

If said company should desire, it may diverge from any part of the 
route or routes above described, and enter upon and use for its right of 
way such private property as it may acquire by purchase, eminent domain,

terial as is used in improving the remainder of the said street, pave such 
parts of such streets between its tracks and between its rails, and for a 
space of eighteen (18) inches on the outside of its rails; and such portions 
of said paving as are herein provided to be done by said company, shall 
thereafter be kept in repair by the said company at its own expense. All 
pavement disturbed or torn up, or displaced by reason of the construction 
and maintenance of the tracks of the said company, or by the operation of

304 Special Ordinances 


And provided further, that when any of the streets so occupied by the 
Bloomington and Normal Railway and Light Company, its successors and 
assigns, under the provisions of this grant, shall hereafter be paved or re- 
paved, or any of the cross streets or alleys over which the said company 
shall operate its lines shall be paved or repaved, the City of Bloomington 
agrees at the election of grantee to let the contract for the entire work, 
and the grantee herein, its successors and assigns, shall then pay the City 
of Bloomington, in cash, the cost of paving such portions of the streets as 
may lie between the tracks and between the rails of the said grantee, and 
eighteen (18) inches outside thereof, upon the completion of the improvement 
by the contractor, and the acceptance thereof. 

And provided, further, that at the election of the grantee, its suc- 
eessors and assigns, the cost of the said improvement shall be divided into 
installments by the commissioner levying the special assessment to pay 
the cost of the improvement, in the same manner as assessments levied against 
private property abutting the line of the improvement are made by law; 
that such division of the cost thereof shall be for the convenience of the 
grantee, its successors and assigns, and the said grantee, its successors and 
assigns, by the acceptance of the provisions of this grant, bind themselves, 
their successors, and assigns to pay each and every of said installments as 
the same may become due; and in the event of failure thereof, the same may 
be returned to the County Collector as delinquent taxes, and the franchises, 
rights, privileges, conveyances, rails, tracks, poles, wires and appurtenances 
of the said company along the line of the said improvement may be sold 
at tax sale to pay the installments as the same may become due; that the 
lien of the special assessment upon such properties shall be a first lien and as 
near as may be treated the same as an assessment against abutting property. 

It is further provided, that where the streets now occupied by the 
Bloomington and Normal Railway and Light Company, or the Bloomington 
and Normal Railway, Electric and Heating Company, for street railway pur- 
poses have heretofore been improved by paving and assessments for part 
of the cost thereof assessed against the said Bloomington and Normal Rail- 
way and Light Company, or the Bloomington and Normal Railway, Electric 
and Heating Company, that the same shall be liens against the property 
of either or both of those companies located in the streets as aforesaid; 
that the said Bloomington and Normal Railway and Light Company agrees 
to pay each and every of the installments for such improvements as they 
severally become due, and in the event of default, the same may be ‘cer- 
tified to the County Collector as delinquent assessments and collected as 
aforesaid; or to pursue any other remedy which the city may have in the 
premises. It being expressly understood and agreed, however, that the 
manner of collection of the installments due for paving provided for in this 
section of this ordinance shall be cumulative with whatever other remedies 
the City of Bloomington may have. That it shall also have the right to 
seize any of the property of the said Bloomington and Normal Railway and 
Light Company, its successors and assigns, and sell the same at public sale

now due or hereinafter to become due be not paid when due, that then all 
other unpaid installments shall at once become due and payable and the 
City of Bloomington permitted to pursue whatever remedy may to it be 
deemed best to collect the several amounts due. 

It is expressly understood and agreed, however, by the acceptance of 
the provisions hereof that the provisions relative to paying the cost of 
paving that portion of the street herein provided for when the residue shall 
be paved, is one of the material considerations entering into the provisions 
hereof and the terms of this grant. 


Section 6. The ears of said company, its successors and assigns, shall at 
all times be entitled to the right of way of said tracks within said munici- 
pality, and whenever any car or cars are approaching, any vehicle or foot 
passenger upon said tracks shall turn out, so as not to impede or interfere 
with the running speed of such car or cars, provided, however, that fire en- 
gines and fire vehicles going to fires and vehicles of the Police Department 
shall have a superior right of way. Nothing herein contained shall be 
construed as relieving said company, its officers, agents and employees 
from exercising ordinary care to avoid injury to pedestrians and travelers 
upon the streets occupied by the grantee, its successors and assigns, over, 
upon or across such streets as the company’s cars may run; nor shall any- 
thing herein be construed as a grant to the said company, its successors and 
assigns, the right to run its cars at a high and dangerous rate of speed, 
nor at a greater speed than may now or hereafter be lawfully pro- 
vided; nor to relieve the officers, agents, servants and employes of the

to a full stop at least ten feet before coming to such crossing, except where 
grantee or such railroad has flagmen or gatemen and then not to cross until 
said flagman signals the motorman that the tracks are clear, and before 
starting to pass over such crossing, an employe of the grantee shall go 
upon such railway crossing and ascertain that there is no visible danger 
in running such car over such crossing.

line or lines of railways for the purpose of transferring, for its convenience, 
street railway cars and such material, supplies, appliances and tools as it 
may need in the construction, maintenance and operation of its street rail- 
way system. It being expressly understood, however, that after the neces- 
sity for the temporary construction shall terminate that said connection 
shall be disconnected immediately upon the order of the City Council. It 
being the intention of this grant to convey only such powers as are nec- 
essary to the practical operation of a street railway business for the trans- 
portation of passengers for hire. 

Nothing herein contained, however, shall be construed as an irrevocable 
grant of the right to cross at grade any railway crossing during the period 
of this grant, but should the City Council hereafter order or require the 
construction of any street viaducts or street subways over or under the track 
or right of way of any railroad where the same crosses or intersects with 
any of the streets or alleys in the City of Bloomington, then it may do so 
notwithstanding the grants herein and hereby made to the said Bloomington 
and Normal Railway and Light Company, its successors and assigns. And 
should the said City provide or require any railroad company or companies 
other than Grantee to provide any viaducts or subways over or under its or 
their tracks upon streets covered by this grant, that then the Grantee herein 
shall find other suitable crossings for itself or use the said subways or via- 
ducts upon such terms as may be hereafter agreed upon by said City, and 
upon the payment of a reasonable proportion of the cost of such viaducts or 
subways.

the Bloomington and Normal Railway and Light Company to permit the 
use of its said railways and tracks by any companies associated with it 
upon such terms and conditions as said Bloomington and Normal Railway

guarantees that its payments to said city hereunder during the first ten

Hundred Dollars ($3400), and, further, that during the last ten (10) years

said gross receipts from operation in said City of Bloomington shall be taken 
and held to be eighty-five per cent (85%) of the entire gross receipts from

When said company, its successors and assigns, makes its payments to 
the said city, of two and four per cent of the gross receipts, as above pro- 
vided for, it shall at the time accompany its remittance with an itemized 
statement of the gross receipts of said company, the truth of which state-

so desire, the Comptroller, or any other officer or person authorized by the 
City Council of said city, shall have free access to the books of the company, 
so far as said books pertain to the gross receipts, for the purpose of checking 
up and further verifying the truth of the sworn statement above provided 
for. 


Section 29. If at the expiration of the rights under and by virtue of 
this grant, said company, its successors and assigns, has not acquired the 
right to operate its street railway for an additional period in the said city, 
then the said company agrees that the city shall have the right upon giving 
twelve months’ notice in writing of its intention so to do, which said notice 
shall be given at least one year and not more than two years before the ex- 
piration of twenty years from date of final passage hereof, to purchase and 
take over the entire street railway system of said company within said city, 
including all property then existing which constitutes said street railway 
system and also all extensions of said additions to said street railways 
within said city; provided, that said city shall at such time have power so 
to do at such price as may be agreed upon by the said city and said com- 
pany. Or upon a failure so to agree, then for such price as may be fixed 
by a board of arbitration, to consist of five persons, of whom a majority 
shall decide all questions. 

In the event of such arbitration of purchase of said railways, said city 
shall give written notice of its intention so to arbitrate and name therein 
one arbitrator, and said company, within two months after receipt of 
such notice, shall name in writing one arbitrator, the two arbitrators so se- 
lected, within twenty days thereafter, shall select three disinterested persons, 
non-residents of said city, and of McLean County, at least one of whom shall 
be a practical engineer, familiar with the construction and operation of 
street railways and the market values of all materials entering into the con- 
struction and operation of street railways; or on failure of said company te 
name an arbitrator, or such first two arbitrators so to name such additional 
arbitrators within the times hereinbefore specified, a Judge of the Cireuit 
Court of McLean County, in the State of Illinois, may name either or all, 
as the case may be, upon application of said city. In the event of default, 
disability or refusal to act of any such arbitrator, his place may be filled in 
the same manner provided for making his appointment. 

The price which said city shall pay for said property shall be its value 
as a going property for street railway purposes at the time in question, 
and in addition, ten per cent (10%) of such value. The said city shall 
forthwith after said arbitration and the expiration of this grant, accept and ° 
pay for said property at such valuation so fixed by arbitration, plus ten 
per cent (10%) as above provided; provided, that said ten per cent (10%) 
shall not be taken into account by said arbitrators on arriving at such valu- 
ation; and provided further, that said arbitration shall be concluded within, 
at or prior to the expiration of twenty years from and after the date of 
final passage hereof. . 

It is expressly understood and agreed, however, that the option of 
purchase herein shall not be considered to extend the term of the rights 


B. and N. Ry. and Light Co. 343 


granted under and by virtue of this ordinance, nor limit nor abridge any 
of the rights which the city may have thereafter in the premises at the 
expiration of the period of this grant, but that the said option is an ad- 
ditional right which it shall have at the time in question.

UNION GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY 


The Union Gas & Electric Company has no license under any ordi- 
nance passed by the City Council of the City of Bloomington to use or 
occupy the streets in said city for laying and maintaining gas mains and 
pipes, or for the purpose of erecting and maintaining poles and wires for 
the conveyance of electricity. The right of the said company to occupy 
the streets for either of these purposes depends upon an estoppel, but in the 
management and conduct of its business the company is subject to the con- 
stitution and laws of the State of Illinois and the control of the City Council 
acting thereunder (254 Illinois 395,418). 

The question of the company’s right to use the streets was litigated 
in a suit which was twice appealed to the Supreme Court of Illinois, three 
opinions being handed down, and the decisions of that court constitute 
the only license of the company to occupy the streets. These opinions 
are reported as follows: 


—The People vs. The Union Gas & Electric Co., 254 Ill. 395. 
—The People vs. The Union Gas & Electrie Co., 258 Ill. 193.

such poles as are of sufficient size and strength to support all wires that it

ing horses, and whenever, in the judgment of the city council, the removal 
or change of location of such pole or poles and wires or other apparatus, or 
the raising or lowering of the height of such wires at any point or along any 
street, is necessary by reason of any proposed local improvement at such 
point, or upon such street, or for the convenience of the general public, or 
otherwise, then such pole, poles, wires, or other apparatus shall be so re-

telegraph or electric light or other electrical apparatus upon the streets and 
alleys of said city, a pole license or permit for reasonable compensation to

avoid, as far as possible, the unnecessary erection of poles, wires, and other 
apparatus upon such streets and alleys. 


Section 3. No such poles or other apparatus shall be erected so as to 
interfere with any sewer, gutter, or other local improvement; and in case of
